Inukshuk

Inukshuks are monuments made of unworked stones that are used by the Inuit for communication and survival. The traditional meaning of the inukshuk is "Someone was here" or "You are on the right path."  If you drive through northwestern Ontario you will see these unique piles of stone along the highway.  I also saw them in the mountains of British Columbia.

My son had a friend from the USA who saw these piles of stone along the highway and kept stopping and destroying them.  He thought they were idols and he felt that it was his responsibility to destroy any idols that he saw.  We do not live in a theocracy and therefore we are not commanded to break down another's idols.  If we were then we would have to destroy cars, homes, boats, jewelry, and so much more.  The command to us is not to destroy other people's idols but to destroy the idols in our own lives.
